We’ve seen quite a few of the “big players” in Twitter apps for Windows Phone get their respective Windows Phone 8 bump in the last few weeks, so it’s great to see reader favorite Mehdoh get its due.

Mehdoh for Windows Phone 8 get quite a few new additions with the latest update, which is of course, free if you previously purchased the app (or locked it in when it was free). From lockscreen notifications to fast-resume, the Twitter app certainly gets the performance boost from Windows Phone 8’s new APIs and beefier hardware.

So why get Mehdoh over some of the other choices out there? First and foremost there is always preference: Mehdoh has always been a clean, minimalist Twitter client and a lot of folks just like the “look” of it.

Another big pro that is unique to Mehdoh is the image/URL preview ability. Lots of times when you someone Tweets a weblink, in order to read it you need to click it and have it handed off to IE on the phone. Sure, you to see the site but you were also just pulled out of the “Twitter experience”. Mehdoh allows you to view webpages within the app just by sliding over—it’s super convenient and faster than opening up the browser. Same with image preview.

If you’re a fan of Mehdoh, head to the Store now to get the update and if you’re looking to try something different, make sure you give Mehdoh a spin. Windows Phone 8 only. Thanks, Michael O., for the tip!

My favorite is Mehdoh for its clean layout. It lets you read more tweets/content than the competition. My second choice would be rowi with Gleek a distant third (I don't like their layout and the vertical "unred" bar looks ugly to me).

I own these three and I will keep switching between Mehdoh and rowi. Competition is good and it's great to have clients this good.

Mehdoh is the one I always go back to. Have used Rowi, Carbon, Birdsong, Gleek, etc. I seem to use one of them and alternate with Mehdoh. Mehdoh always seems to win out. The one I alternate with now is Metweets. Very similar to Mehdoh, IMO.

Having a problem with Mehdoh after the update. Will not automatically update after launching the app, I have to hit refresh. Then it says "mehdoh There was a problem connecting toTwitter." Anyone else experiencing this?
